Don’t boycott Petronas pump stations

Posted eddyra by on news

An e-mail has been circulating calling on the public to boycott Petronas stations and its products. I did received this email so many times.

“Any form of boycott will only hurt the station owners, the small and medium-seized enterprises that supply the stations with their products and the shareholders of Petronas Dagangan – many of whom are pensioners,” - Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Marican.

My point of view, if we boycott Petronas product we are most likely getting from foreign vendor which will increase outflow of currency and further squeezes our ringgit. I dont think boycotting the petronas station will get back the petrol and diesel subsidise. They earn more on their crude sales.

Lets think of it..

Posted eddyra by on news

The new price for petrol is RM2.70 a liter, effective 5th June 2008. The price goes up by RM0.78 from the current RM1.92, a hike of 40%.

The price of diesel would be increased by RM1 from RM1.58 to RM2.58. Not much different between diesel and petrol now.

Good!

I usually fill up my car with 36 liters for a round RM70.00 a week for normal usage. Simple calculation RM70.00 divided by RM1.92 we get 36 liters la. I spend around RM280.00 per month.

Now the new price is RM2.70, if I want fill up my car like usual I must pay RM2.70 x 36 liters. How much?

Yes.. RM97.00

My car -RM 97.00 a week x 4 = RM 388.00 more less.
My wife’s car -RM 43.00 a week x 4 = RM 172.00
My honda cup -RM 7.00 a week x 4 = RM 28.00

Total RM 588.00 more less a month.. gezz.

Malaysia limits women’s travel

Posted eddyra by on news

Malaysian Foreign and Home ministries came up with the idea in response to a string of cases where women travelling alone were used by international drug syndicates to smuggle drugs across borders. In 119 cases of Malaysian women being brought before foreign courts, about 90 percent were linked to drugs.

Malaysian government is considering requiring women to obtain the written consent of their families or employers before being allowed to travel alone outside the country.

Wah.. Our government should educate all travellers especially woman by advertising a big banner outside the airport,

“Woman - Do not drug trafficking” .. ha ha.

Schism -The Bible version of Fitna

Posted eddyra by on news

Saudi Blogger’s Raid Al-Saeed, 33, has answered to Wilders’ film.

‘I made it in less than 24 hours. In ‘Schism,’ I have used the same methodology that Wilders has used and that involves taking texts out of context,’ he told Arab News, adding that he made the film to prove that it is incorrect to judge Islam by watching “Fitna.”

Kalau nak rompak dua tiga ribu ringgit tapi kena belasah sampai nak mampus, tak balik modal tu. Buang masa.

Salman Rushdie, Satanic Verses and the theater.

Posted eddyra by on news

The late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini has pronounced a fatwa in 1989 that called on Muslims to kill Salman Rushdie, the author of Satanic Verses. The book was considered by many Muslims to be blasphemous and its author to be an apostate. His book, which was published in 1988, had caused a storm of protest on its first publication, almost 20 years ago.

There had been book-burnings and riots, death threats and indeed actual deaths. A reward was offered of £1.6m to kill him. The book’s Italian translator was stabbed and his Norwegian publisher shot, but both survived.

Fitna the Movie

Posted eddyra by on news

What a shame for Geert Wilders to start with the burning towers in New York as an example of Islamic cruelty and hate.

The film begins with a warning ‘This movie contains disturbing materials.’ The Al Quran appears, followed by an imam singing verses from it about fighting the infidels.

Two planes are seen flying into the World Trade Center in New York City. After that the buildings are burning and hear a telephone conversation between a woman trapped inside the WTC and a 911 operator. The woman is panicking and fears she’s going to die. “It’s so hot, I’m burning up,” she says.

Next, another attack, followed by leading terrorists and extremists telling fellow Muslims that Allah requires of them to fight ‘infidels’. After that come images of severely tarnished bodies, all victims of terrorism.
